PHYSICAL DISK STRUCTURE IS HIDDEN BEHIND LOGICAL ONE

This server tries to hide physical disks and symlinks used to point to them from the anonymous user, but occasionally you can trick it to behave oddly. For example under some conditions some multi-argument ls command (NLST primitive) can create odd listings which are not of what you might have expected.

We don't see any REAL need to hide physical structure completely, nor to make even `ls' programs view of it bullet proof, but tell us your opinion. ( -> problems@ftp.funet.fi )

Most of the time "cd .." will move you one step up in your current directory -- even when a component in it a symlink.

The way this is implemented is described in /staff-docs/ftpd-ls.README.
